    ERR: Undefined function ‘SUBSTRING’ in expression.

    This article applies to:

     

    • SmartDL 4.0 

     

    Symptom

    If you try to parse the value in an imported file by using the SUBSTRING(ColumnName, start_number, num_chars) command for a column, you will received the following error message when the query is executed:

    Undefined function 'SUBSTRING' in expression.

     

    Cause

    The Microsoft ODBC 2.0 Drivers no longer recognize the function called "SUBSTRING()".  The name of the function has been changed to "MID()", which provides the same result as the previous SUBSTRING() function.
